Website Hosts?

[Paranoia]

I thought this was relevant to the Flash forum, seeing as most of you guys have websites for your stuff and your needs from a host may be different to those in the Programming forum or wherever. Besides; those guys might take offence at the suggestion that basic HTML is linked to programming...

I was wondering what your reccomendations are for a host. One which is good for a small - medium scale website which I can put my stuff on and link to and crap, and which is of a reasonable price.

As I said, you guys should know a lot more about this sort of stuff than me.

And if you can give me any tips or stuff for starting up, that'd be appeciated to.

ADM hosting.
Nearly everyone here uses them. I use them and its great because you can always ask questions because the site is run (i think) by a programming reg.

GODADDY.COM

Seriously, cheap, fast, great.

A great free host is awardspace. Support for php and absolutely no ads. Great for free stuff. Otherwise for a payed hosting/domain, I suggest surftown.com Unlimited mail and unlimited traffic. Very great :P

I'll check it out :P I don't want to dive into anything, but after a quick google skim read they seem pretty good.

Oh, hot fuzz dude. I found the thread you made about it in Prog :P If it's half as good ad those guys say it is, I'm in.

It;s at least 10 times better than what they say :O

I've had good experience with godaddy. They may seem like a faceless corporation since they are the largest host on the net, but they do actually call up a lot and make sure everything is okay. I've been through tons of host.

*Brinkster.com is great but expensive.
*Aplus.net is the most horrible host ever, ripped me off $150 several times for service charges.
*phpwebhosting.com seems kind of shady, but is the best host I ever had. $10 a month for a huge amount of services, and if you need more file space, you send them an email and they'll give you more.
*Godaddy.com is the cheapest and provides the most bandwidth and file space. Best up-time as well, due to redundant service.
*Dreamhost.com is awesome as well, and provides more and more service as you stay longer.
*admhosting.net has cheaper plans which is awesome if you don't plan to have tons of traffic, or are not hosting your flash on your site.
*Yahoo.com is actually really good for hosting through geocities through the paid service, they are just expensive.

So your choice, those are all the hosts I've had in the past.

www.ixwebhosting.com Realllly good deals.

[Inglor]

admhosting is great because it's private hosting so you don't get treated like shit and if you go over your limits you can just ask for more. I'll send milo this way

I don't trust that. What's their catch?

[Cojones893]

No catch. $6.95 a month: 8 domains, 1.5 terabytes monthly transer, 300gb web space, 300 subdomains. I'm telling you guys they are the best.

[Cojones893]

Sorry to double post but compare IXwebhosting to any competitor.

Compare 'em

Cept me. =)

I use dreamhost. Right now, myself and my gilfriend are hosting around 14 sites on our one account. Here's our specs.

240 gigs of storage
2.14 terabyte bandwidth
Unix/apache

$9.00 a month... plus every month, you get a percentage bonus to storage and bandwidth
If you recommend anyone, you get $95.00 credit..

One click install for a few different forums/blogs/online stores. Just click and Viola... forums.

They're run by fairly young employees, so you're constantly getting newsletters and updates written like Haikus or rap songs, which is funny as hell and they're great to read.

I've been using them for 4 years or so and have no complaints. Last night, I emailed them at at about 5am because I was having problems setting permissions for another account and got an email about about 5 minutes later.... that made me smile.

I haven't had one problem with them, to date. When I used Hostingmasters at work, I had all sorts of problems.

I use 1&1, really good.

$2.99/month for:

1 domain name
5 GB web space
500 e-mail accounts
250 GB bandwidth

Make sure that you read the policy.

I have a virtual dedicated server with Godaddy. They are very reliable, and I'm extremely happy with the service.

Also, like jmtb said they always call up asking how the service is and if I have any questions.
